A standoff between a Brazilian Supreme Court judge and Elon Musk intensified Thursday as the billionaire’s Starlink company said its assets had been frozen in the country amid a feud over the fate of his social media platform X.
Then on Thursday, Musk’s satellite internet operator, Starlink, said it had received an order from Moraes that “freezes Starlink’s finances and prevents Starlink from conducting financial transactions” in the country. Several of the X accounts he ordered suspended belonged to supporters of Brazil’s former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, who tried to discredit the voting system in the 2022 election, which he lost.Already in April, Moraes ordered an investigation of Musk, accusing him of reactivating some of the banned accounts.In the order made public Wednesday, Moraes told Musk “to appoint the company’s new legal representative in Brazil within 24 hours.
Following the order, the hashtag “O Twitter morreu” went viral in Brazil, and leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva posted a message on the platform with the addresses of his other social media accounts.
